Rejected petition
Make irrelevant subjects such as Latin voluntary in schools below GCSE age

Subjects such as Latin are irrelevant to pupils from year 7-8/9 and they are being forced to take it. Rather than having subjects like this in place, add more subjects on the future life as an adult. Add a current affairs class or possibly currenct politics or explanation of political parties.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

Latin isn't compulsory in schools.

Teaching Latin, and making it compulsory, is a choice for individual schools or academy trusts to take.
